Previous Civ games have been dominated by the "stack of doom" where players create an unstoppable super unit by piling all of their units in a single square.

Any one remembers the CIV2 SOD?

You can only remember it if you were on the winning side, if you weren't.....

I'm not too bothered about the lack of espionage, it makes a difference i guess if you're playing MP but i can rarely be bothered to use it SP as the AI are very predictable.

One thing I'm worried about is the efforts put in making the game more realistic. I know some people like the idea of realism in a game, but I find it utter nonsense. IT IS A GAME! Most changes for the good of quasi-realism come at the cost of playability.

Also, the most obvious changes are on the graphics level..... Who cares? The graphic details in cIV are lightyears too far from what one needs to play the game in a enjoyable way.

Does anybody here like the idea that, when you zoom in on a mine, you can actually see a cart moving into the mine? I've always wondered who the hell came up with that idea.

Even better was whoever decided that those bloody trees had to wave about a pixel from side to side all the time...

I liked the pigs messing around at first.

Especially as you founded Islam.

This all sounds good but now I have to upgrade my computer. OR do I tell the wife i need a new lap top and bargin for a new video card.

I don't think my GeForce 6150 LE will cut it on this. Civ 4 almost made it die.

/Yeah it took Civ 5 to get me back posting.
